The Contract – Toronto Fringe 2012 Press Release

A man stumbles into a bar, and we are drawn into his quest to remember who he is and why he is there. When his wife and best friend appear, clues start to trickle like drops of paint on a canvas. A mysterious video helps to flesh out a portrait of betrayal and regret, but also descends us deeper down the rabbit hole, into the very nature of life…and death.

“The Contract” merges video and live theatre into a seamless and captivating representation of a suicide victim in his afterlife struggling through painful recollections brought on by his post-life review. This dramatic play/film hybrid reflects emerging modern beliefs about the afterlife and the ‘agreements’ that human souls make prior to incarnating.
